Here is the simple math:For 1000 praying spots this corresponds to $2500 per
personFor an average family of four, this amounts to $10,000 If 250 families donate $10,000 we can finish the project
within two years.
Those who will get in the early phase of this project will reap the greatest rewards – Book the lots for yourselves, your parents and
your children to get rewards till the day of Judgment!
Sura Al Imran – Ayat 92
م�م�ا � نف�قوا ت �ى ت ح� �ر� �ب ال � وا �ال �ن ت �ن ل�ن� ف�إ ي�ء� ش� م�ن � نف�قوا ت و�م�ا �ون� ب ح� ت
�يم ع�ل �ه� ب 'ه� الل
By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you give (freely) of that which you love; and whatever you
give, Allah knows it well.

Your riches and your children may be but a trial: but in the Presence of Allah, is the highest, Reward.

�حون� �مف�ل الSo fear Allah as much as you can; listen and obey and spend in charity for
the benefit of your own soul and those saved from excessive desires of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
م� �ك ل �غ�ف�ر� و�ي م� �ك ل ض�اع�ف�ه ي Bا ن ح�س� ضBا ق�ر� �ه� الل ق�ر�ضوا ت �ن إ�يم ل ح� ور ك ش� �ه و�الل
If you loan to Allah, a beautiful loan, He will double it to your (credit), and He will grant you Forgiveness: for Allah is ever responsive to gratitude, Full of Patience,-
�يم ال�ح�ك ال�ع�ز�يز ه�اد�ة� و�الش� �ب� ال�غ�ي �م ع�الKnower of what is hidden and open, Almighty, Full of Wisdom.

O you who believe! Spend of that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are
the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers).
